I'm not happy about Floyd fighting Berto, I don't think anybody is so much bigger than the sport that they "Earn the right to take a Gimme." Boxing is a competitive sport with a lot of money being thrown about, it is not only disrespectful, but also potentially dangerous to have mismatches. I know Floyd isn't a heavy puncher and you might laugh at the "Danger" comment, but I also believe it's dangerous for Floyd or anyone else to potentially go into a fight taking it lightly and not training adequately.
However, all this "Floyd is conning the public" business is bollocks. Floyd may be powerful in the sport, but it's not his decision to make this ppv, that's down to the TV companies. Next Floyd will get the Blame for Global Recession! basically, you have a choice, Pay or don't pay. I wouldn't pay, but each to their own.
as for all the people who paid for the Floyd v Manny fight and felt robbed, well they must be plain fucking stupid!
a.) everybody should've seen that that's the type of fight it would be. I did , I paid and I didn't feel robbed. and
b.) if there is any blame for it being a damp squib, that has to be entirely down to Pacquiao. Floyd is there to win, he won and took no collateral damage, isn't that what it's all about? or do you think he should deliberately try and get hurt just to please everyone?
Pac went down a lot in my estimation , not only because he was awful on the night, but then he talked like a cunt after it. If he picked up an injury prior to the fight , he shouldn't have got in the ring, and if he thinks he won the fight, he is fucking deluded.
